work to influence the new element in politics in way to ward off. as far as possible, the calamities which it fore
 boded to them. To say that the re- publicans of the John Sherman type
 were astonished at the result would be
 to place it very mildly. They were startled, and, in fact, have for several years been almost paralyzed by the delft and skillful results of superior democratic diplomacy. We have no sort of idea down South of shutting off or bulldozing the negro vote. We
 have been forced to take him, against
 the will and judgment of all educated and intelligent men; but, having him,
 we propose to educate him, to the end of attaining the greatest good out of a
 promised evil. The more intelligent of the negro race have already learned the true secret of republican sympathy and the true inwardness of republican zeal for their unrestricted suffrage.
 As they become better and better edu- cated as the years go by they learn to vote and act intelligently and to listen to the earnest advice Of neighbors and friends with. whom their lot is cast forever. Men like Sherman and Foraker may howl dismally over a free ballot and fair count" but it is fruitless and unnecessary howl. The negro is free to vote as he pleases, and he will choose to vote with and for the people among whom he and his chil- dren must live for veal or woe. The democratic party has charge of this government. and proposes to stay in charge. Republican politicians may stick pin in this paragraph and di- yest it's force at their leisure.

Right Reverend M. N. Gilbert, as
sistant Bishop of the Episcopal do

to the parish Of the Good Samaritan
in this village and the Mission sta.
ton at Melrose ON Sunday last,
preaching here in the morning. at
Meliose in the afternoon, and here
again in the evening, administering
the rite of confirmation to Misses
Allen and Coe after the service. The
Bishop is IA young man, there being
but one younger IN the episcopate,
but he is scholarly man and Il
peculiarly effective pulpit orator.
Both in matter aud manner he
challenges the admiration of his hear
ers. He impresses one thoroughly
with the sense of his own earnest
ness and devotion, and the result is
that he carries conviction with his
words. Two stronger discourses have
not often been heard in Sank Centre
than those delivered by Bishop Gill
bert last Sunday, while his brief ad-
dress to the persons confirmed was
touching, instructive and full of en-
enlargement. In the afternoon the
Bishop accompanied by the rector,
Rev. j. F. Hamilton, and Messrs.
Dean, Tubbs, Taylor and Hendryx,
drove to Melrose and preached to II
full congregation, returning in time
for evening service here. After
services an informal reception was
held at the residence of S. NJ. Bruce,
